when i was little, my uncle lived in japan with his wife. they would always send my sisters and me toys and candy and things related to the culture wherever they traveled to. this little wooden figurine is something they sent us back then and i’ve brought it with me everywhere i’ve lived. he passed away back in august so it’s become even more meaningful to me. i miss him literally every day and it’s always so nice to be reminded of him through little things like this.
